Aggravated DWI in New York


This is a new charge enacted in November, 2006. Persons whose BAC is .18 or more are charged under this enhanced penalty statute. It calls for a fine of not less than $1,000, up to 1 year in jail, or both. A conviction to aggravated DWI also requires that the person install an ignition breathalyzer interlock on their vehicle for the term of probation. For operators of taxicabs or commercial motor vehicles the stakes are even higher. Charges of DUI while operating such a vehicle are now felonies.

There are also significant plea bargaining restrictions when charged with aggravated DWI. The prosecutor is prohibited from offering a plea to the non-crime DWAI and may only offer a plea to the misdemeanor of non-aggravated DWI. This is why it is so important to have Michael Palumbo [link to attorney profile] from Palumbo & Associates, P.C. on your side fighting your case.
